He was an Italian... friar & preacher. He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women's Order of Saint Clare, the Third Order of Saint Francis, & the Custody of the Holy Land. Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history. Francis arranged for the first Christmas live Nativity scene. According to... tradition, in 1224 he received the stigmata during an apparition of Seraphic angels in a religious ecstasy making him the first recorded person in... history to bear the wounds of Christ's Passion. He died during the evening hours.

Commentary: At least experientially, these Mass reading are hypothetical, as all the priests in the Diocese of Lansing have gathered for a convocation, meaning the only daily Mass being celebrated is wherever they are. (I suspect at the rather appropriately named St. Francis Retreat Center, but I don't know that to be the case.) No Mass? ¡No Más!
